Whoever came up with the name “Carpenter Bee” was either very high or very stupid (or perhaps he just had a wickedly sarcastic sense of humor) because THIS is not what a real #carpenter does. The definition of a Carpenter is “a person who builds or repairs wooden objects and structures.” Well, folks, I’ve closely examined dozens of exposed Carpenter Bee tunnels, and I haven’t found a shred of evidence to indicate that building or repairing wooden objects or structures ever occurred. In fact, the only thing I see is widespread destruction left by winged thugs who obviously derive a perverse type of satisfaction from vandalizing my precious #reclaimedwood. “Carpenter Bee” makes as much sense as “Landscaper Gopher.” #carpenterbee #woodworking https://www.instagram.com/p/ByOP5V1gfhu/?igshid=vw59shj41vmc

To the untrained eye, this might look like nothing more than a cool triangular end table with dark walnut stain and splayed tapered legs, but any sophisticated furniture aficionado can see that it’s obviously a cool triangular end table with dark walnut stain, splayed tapered legs AND FREE SHIPPING! Find it in my Etsy shop. #reclaimedwood #endtable #midcenturymodern #ReclaimedWoodGoods https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx5cM_AAO4t/?igshid=1frokw1qeqahe

Even the grizzled pair of veteran homicide detectives were shocked by the carnage in front of them. “This is as bad as it gets,” said detective Sapp as he solemnly surveyed the gruesome crime scene. “Those poor boards never had a chance.” “What kind of a monster forces an innocent family of redwood boards through a planer until there’s nothing left except piles and piles of blood red shavings?” asked detective Woodgrain. “The same kind of monster who’ll do it again and again and again unless we stop him,” Sapp replied. “In other words, I think we’re looking for an honest-to-goodness serial planer. #WorkshopCrimeStories #YesIWatchTooMuch #InvestigationDiscovery #reclaimedredwood #reclaimedwood #woodworking #woodworkingtools #dewalt #ReclaimedWoodGoods https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxfo5dwACBp/?igshid=1m9dppd0fdqb8

After stubbornly resisting a little tough love from a nylon cup brush and an air compressor, these old branded boards are finally starting to reveal the beauty hiding under their tough-guy exterior. #reclaimedwood #barnwood #barndoor #cattlebrand #woodworking https://www.instagram.com/p/BxdnJ_Jgy_F/?igshid=adegbn8utjww

Here’s my suggestion for a “Help Wanted Ad” from a frozen breakfast burrito factory: “If you’re a tiny little person with itsy-bitsy hands and a non-existent appetite, we need YOU and your unique skill set to roll-up our microscopically small burritos, which we sell to normal-size people with normal size hands and normal appetites.” #ICouldEasilyEatSixOfThese #YesImSerious #ReclaimedWoodGoods https://www.instagram.com/p/BxcvEnYAQ-W/?igshid=enr6a6gookvk

Apparently, somewhere in my workshop is a secret clubhouse where 281 obnoxious pencils are hiding from me, causing me to lose my temper and yell bad words whenever I try to find the pencil I used ONLY 30 SECONDS BEFORE!! That’s why I’m very excited about this nifty little gadget, which I found at #HomeDepot for under $3. (The manufacturer calls it the “Pencil Pull XL”, but I call it the “Pencil Prison.”). After 5 days of captivity, the attached pencil still hasn’t escaped to join his compadres in the secret clubhouse, which means I haven’t yelled a single bad word for almost a week—except on Saturday, when the brand new blade on my table saw somehow managed to find two large nails buried deep inside a reclaimed 2x6. I admit that I DID yell a very, very, VERY bad word when the sparks started to fly, but that wasn’t the Pencil Prison’s fault. #CheapToolsThatWork #YesIReallyDidUseTheWordNiftyInAPost #woodworkingtools #woodworking #woodshop #reclaimedwood #coolproducts #ReclaimedWoodGoods https://www.instagram.com/p/BxaN1ThgzI1/?igshid=12pnalwy4tpm8

Today I’ve seen several posts by loving wives posting loving comments about loving things done by loving husbands on this loving day known Mother’s Day. I have a question for those “loving husbands”; Do you really believe that flowers, candy, a greeting card, breakfast in bed, or a fancy brunch at an expensive restaurant are adequate ways to express appreciation for a woman who endured the discomfort of pregnancy and the pain of childbirth just to bring YOUR children into the world???? I think not. What your wife REALLY wants on #Mothersday is for you to finally install the recessed kitchen lighting that you’ve been putting off since 1998. Don’t believe it? Yeah, me neither. Happy Mother’s Day, @vickimus! I’m pretty sure i can install that last light by Christmas! https://www.instagram.com/p/BxYaCjhgjDP/?igshid=17t73ueptrb3d

Another tabletop shaped like a guitar pick is ready for shipping. I attached 1” flanges so the buyer can add three black pipe legs, which she already has. I hate to brag, but not only can I make end tables shaped like guitar picks, I can also make guitar picks shaped like end tables. Aside from that, I’m just a regular guy. #ReclaimedWoodGoods https://www.instagram.com/p/BxNsVP3gD2w/?igshid=yqmdzmnp2gfk

After 13 hours of “low & slow” smoking, this big ol’ 11-lb. pork shoulder is ready for its final act before becoming picture perfect piles of pulled pork. Now I’ll wrap it up in foil and put it back in my #smoker until the internal temperature reaches 205 degrees, at which point, it will be fall-apart tender and ready to contribute to our nation’s growing epidemic of pork addiction. #UDS #uglydrumsmoker #bbq #barbecue #pulledpork #porkshoulder #lowandslow https://www.instagram.com/p/BxLpdDRg_WM/?igshid=1k10rqs5iedjj

I became infatuated with this little beauty as soon as I started applying the finish. It has everything I ever wanted in an end table; reclaimed wood, wonderful texture, contrasting colors, and lots of scars and blemishes. And I’ve always been a sucker for long torched legs. But, alas, our love was not meant to be. This table’s heart belongs to another, and I wish them nothing but the best as they begin their lives together in Cambridge, Massachusetts. #ReclaimedLove #endtable #reclaimedwoodfurniture #rustic #cabin #lodge #recycle #reclaim #reuse #restore #woodworking #ReclaimedWoodGoods #handmade #etsy https://www.instagram.com/p/BxLdmkOApr9/?igshid=eq95sm62cxx4

This post is for those who’ve never seen my tender, kindhearted, fuzzy side. I consider every living creature a miracle, and I enjoy capturing images of them in their natural environment. This is the 4th pair of #hummingbirds hatched in the same nest within the last 3 years. It’s in an old #windchime outside of our kitchen window. I took this heartwarming picture right before I tossed the tiny twins into the crockpot to make a batch of my world famous “Hummingbird Chili.” JUST KIDDING! They won’t be big enough for chili until next week. JUST KIDDING AGAIN! #ItsJustAJokeFolks #WeEvenBoughtAHummingbirdFeederForThem #IReallyLoveHummingbirds #ButAFewFollowersWillSTILLSendMessagesToScoldMeForThisPost #Smh #naturephotography #nature #centralcalifornia #iphonephotography (at Bonadelle Ranchos-Madera Ranchos) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxFtpsLAZvC/?igshid=q3nfkj64zmxn

7 months ago, my lovely wife retired from the U.S. Postal Service after almost 35 years of service. Instead of relaxing and enjoying the easy retirement she deserves, this unstoppable force of nature is busier than ever. She babysits our grandkids one or two times a week, she’s not afraid to lend a hand in the never ending renovation of Reclaimed Wood Goods’ International headquarters, she enjoys accompanying me during supply runs, and, best of all, she doesn’t get mad at me when I make stupid faces in our selfies. Am I a lucky guy or what??! #TeamworkMakesTheDreamWork #AintNoWomanLikeTheOneIGot #ReclaimedWoodGoods (at Lowe's Home Improvement) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxDKSPKguP_/?igshid=1h6gveac6kkie

When I’m not building made-to-order items, I like to experiment by making tables with designs that are slightly different or even completely different from my usual offerings. When they’re finished, I MUST sell these spec pieces because Mrs. Reclaimed Wood Goods (aka @vickimus) has a silly rule that prohibits me from stacking my finished experiments from floor-to-ceiling in every room of our house. (She CLAIMS that we need to maintain a clear path of escape in case of fire.) Anyway, the table in these pictures is now available at my Etsy shop (link in profile), or we can handle the transaction through PayPal. DM me if you have any questions. (Since this table is a finished product, customization isn’t available.) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxAX9kAANr5/?igshid=1cb0xscadhbdx

Like everybody else in the world, you’ve probably been looking everywhere for somebody who can make cool end tables shaped like guitar picks. Well, ladies and gentlemen, I happen to be a skilled maker of musical themed end tables, so please “pick” me. #SeeWhatIDidThere #ThankYouFolksYouveBeenAGreatAudience #IllBeHereAllWeek #ReclaimedWoodGoods https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw_IgeIAjmS/?igshid=mzkiydyxk659
